Nintendo hasn’t given audiences the full scoop on what to expect in Pokemon Sword and Shield, but we do have solid looks at the game’s starter Pokemon: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.

Returning in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon is the island challenge, which tasks the player to venture from island to island partaking in Pokemon trials. Each of the Alolan region’s four islands has its own series of trials, encompassing unique challenges beyond just Pokemon battles. The final obstacle on each island is the grand trial, where the player takes on the island’s Kahuna. It’s a rite of passage on Alola to participate in the island challenge, though only the strongest of trainers can complete it and become the island challenge champion....

Despite these efforts, there are still changes that Pokemon Unite needs to address. Aspects of the game could be filled out more as a way to reward players and help with some of the game’s current balancing issues. On top of this, Pokemon Unite still has some categories it could fill based on its current roles for Pokemon. Right now, melee attacker, ranged speedster, and ranged all-arounder Pokemon are absent from the game....

Even after Pokimane and Jidion announced a collaboration, which to many was symbolic of that drama ending, Pokimane has still not yet buried the hatched with Ninja. This comes as a result of Ninja refusing to apologize over his actions during the hate raid, as he does not believe he has need to apologize. Jessica Blevins, Ninja’s wife and former manager, had a back-and-forth with Pokimane, which eventually ended in her threatening legal action over defamation....

Every mainline Pokemon game introduces new starter and legendary pokemon, so it’s unlikely that they would include those from previous generations moving forward.

The Generation 9 titles have unfortunately been found to be brimming with technical flaws since the day they released, with the games dominating social media after players began discovering and sharing many different glitches, some resulting in ridiculously funny moments with others leading to disastrous errors that cause softlocks or game crashes. It has been surprisingly common for players to find themselves clipping through the geometry across the new Paldea region, with players capturing moments of themselves falling through the map or Pokemon Trainers such as Nemona dashing straight through a staircase as if it isn’t there....

Many Pokemon games have had duplication glitches that players have been able to take advantage of to clone Pokemon. It’s now been discovered that out of the many glitches in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, one lets players clone their Pokemon. The glitch was reported on by Nintendo Everything and initially discovered by YouTuber Austin John Plays, who has shared a video on exactly how Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can clone Pokemon in the game....

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were revealed this past February. Since then, a number of supposed leaks and fan theories about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have made their way online. This includes thoughts on regional variants, the game’s setting, and the latest generation’s legendary trio.

A legendary quartet isn’t without precedent. It seems Game Freak and The Pokemon Company have focused on expanding these collections of legendary Pokemon, with the legendary titans getting additions throughout the franchise like Regigigas, Regieleki, and Regidrago, as well as Pokemon Legends: Arceus expanding the Forces of Nature trio into a quartet with Enamorous. It seems the Forces of Nature may be somewhat related to these new legendaries too....

While gamers wait for the new titles, some resort to more creative means to show appreciation for the upcoming Pokemon, like fan art. The internet is full of breathtaking artwork of pocket monsters like Wiglett, Smoliv, Koraidon, and Fuecoco. Lately, artwork of the Pokemon Farigiraf is becoming popular, and now one fan has shown their creativity by making a shiny version of it and another newly added Pokemon.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet had a very simple reveal, and while there’s a lot left to be shown, this simplicity speaks volumes—as well as the titles. It’s almost certain to have a gimmick, and it’ll be interesting to see what the Pokemon Legendaries are.

Though Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are strong games in many ways, players were particularly disappointed with the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Elite Four and Top Champion, who many argue don’t pose the same challenge as previous iterations. One particular letdown is Top Champion Geeta who, in what should have been a barn burner of a battle, leaves many fans feeling frustrated due to her weak team and questionable strategies....

Just because the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet legendaries look reptilian does not necessarily mean they have to follow the trend of being legendary Dragon-types. RELATED: New Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Trailer Settles the Fuecoco Food Debate The Overflow Of Legendary Dragons Legendary Pokemon that are Dragon-type include Regidrago, Latias, Latios, Rayquaza, Zekrom, Reshiram, Kyurem, Zygarde, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Eternatus....

While there’s nothing wrong with how Pokemon gave players a goal of catching every creature found in the game’s world, it can be easily said that as each generation brought in new critters to get, problems from this dynamic could be seen years beforehand. Now, as Pokemon is scrambling to limit its scope while also keeping its classic “gotta catch ’em all” image, it’s clear that Game Freak’s hit series could have looked to Digimon for ideas on how to avoid the situations it’s in now....
